$controller(constructor, locals, [bindings]);

Arguments

Param

Type

Details

constructor

function()string

If called with a function then it's considered to be the controller constructor function. Otherwise it's considered to be a string which is used to retrieve the controller constructor using the following steps:

check if a controller with given name is registered via $controllerProvider

check if evaluating the string on the current scope returns a constructor

if $controllerProvider#allowGlobals, check window[constructor] on the global window object (deprecated, not recommended)

The string can use the controller as property syntax, where the controller instance is published as the specified property on the scope; the scope must be injected into locals param for this to work correctly.

locals

Object

Injection locals for Controller.

bindings

(optional)

Object

Properties to add to the controller instance. This is used to simulate the bindToController feature and simplify certain kinds of tests.
